About this property

Built in the 1860s, this former Congregational Chapel now offers bright, spacious and contemporary family accommodation whilst retaining many of the features of the original building.

Offering bright and stylish accommodation, The Old Chapel offers a mixture of period charm with high ceilings, arched and rose windows and exposed roof trusses sitting alongside contemporary fixtures and fittings. The split-level sitting room is particularly spacious with arched doors opening to the chapel porch, oak flooring and a Clearview stove. The kitchen is fitted with a range of sleek white units with integrated stainless steel appliances and ample room for dining table and chairs. On the first floor, the principal bedroom has a wonderful feature "rose" window with built-in storage and a stylish en suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms, a stylish family bathroom with separate shower enclosure and a cloakroom. A ground floor utility/shower room and snug completes the accommodation.

Over recent years, The Old Chapel has been run as a luxury holiday rental to much acclaim. The Guardian described it as "both homely and stylish" saying that "few church conversions are as successful as this one" and it featured in "Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing" on the BBC in 2020. Whether you use The Old Chapel as a comfortable and historic family home or continue use as a holiday rental property, you're assured a unique experience in this Cotswold valley.

Village life is focussed around the Parish Church and the Woolpack public house, both around 400m distant. The surrounding towns provide a comprehensive range of social, recreational and retail amenities to suit all tastes. Education options in the area are strong in both the private and state sectors with independent schools including Kings School in Gloucester, Wycliffe College and Beaudesert Park School in Stroud and Cheltenham College and Dean Close in Cheltenham whilst there are Grammar schools in Stroud, Gloucester and Cheltenham.
